Māori soldiers were initially denied shore leave in South Africa during the Second Boer War due to prevailing racial prejudices and colonial attitudes. The military authorities were concerned about the potential for Māori soldiers to mix with local populations, reflecting fears of racial integration and the influence of Māori culture. Additionally, there were worries about maintaining discipline and order among troops, as Māori were seen through a lens of stereotypes that underestimated their capabilities and rights. This policy sparked protests from Māori soldiers and their supporters, leading to eventual changes in the treatment of Māori within the military.
